THE STAGE.
The old stage, the past is gone,
driven out by the march of im
provements. The live horse
has been supp'anted by the
iron horse, the pietursque
driver by the jolly engineer.
Notwithstanding this fact
there are tlukiands of peo
ple still anxious to go "on the
stage." Why, oh why, don't
somebody . write a new farce
comedy for the stage, one
that won't be a rehash of all
the ones that have gone be
fore, one that will have a new
song that hasn't been sung to
death, or a new dunce that
has never been dance t efore?
Why don't somebody in this
day and generation that has
run realism to death, this
time when real snow, real
rain,real horses, real cars,
real water tanks, real pile
drivers and real pugilists are
on the stage, why don't some
body write a ne.v Hamlet and
use real ham? Speaking of
stages, there are several
stages used in getting to the
front in business. First; the
exp-rimental stage; second,
the stage of uncertainty ;third,
the successful stage. We're
already riding on the third
slage, up on the front seat
with the driver, permitted to
crack the whip ourselves oc
casionally. In one short
year we passed the experimen
tal and the uncertain stages,
and today there's no gxiess
work about our business su -cess.
What has been the
means f our rapid transit?
Straight work, bard work
work all the time. In one
yar men and women have
learned to believe in us, to
know that .we always give
value good, big value for ev
ery nickel that goes into our
money drawer and we don't ,
do it for one day or on any
one line of goods, but we do
it every day and on every line
of goads we sell. We are
showing some emphatic val
ues at the furnishing coun
ters this week, values that
are crowding the wide1 aisles
full of customers. We have
already done. a good winter's
business in underwear and we
are prepared for a good deal
more. Remember, we are
selling underwear fifty cent
values at 3QA, sixty-five cent
values for 40e.; seventy-five
cent values for 50c; ninety
cent values for 608.; dollar
twenty-five values for 80c. v
and the values are not fictiti
ous; it wouldn't pay, at this
stage (if the game and the
same good values can be
found in the dress goods de
prrtment; values entirely
worth your time to see. And
in carpets same principles
hold" good. This Is what
makes oar store -so popular
right now in the face of low
price eotton.
Respectfully,
P. T. BwmmlIj.

A Good Reply.
A very prominent democratic gen
tleman walked into the business oflhe
of another leading democrat this
morning when the following interro
gation was propounded and answered:
"Good morning, Capt. A- -. How
do you feel this morning?"
"Not very well, sir; but a great deal
better than I think Mr. Cleveland
ought to feel this morning."
The democrat who asked the ques
tion is a gold democrat and the one
who gave the answer is a free coinage
democrat and the conversation imme
diately drifted into another channel.
Almost a Riot.
Shortly after sundown Tuesday even
ing at uoncora baa biooa Degan to
show itself among some negroes and a
disorderly class of white people who
usually carouse around and "pick"
fusses. v .
At least twenty people were struck
with stones, among them chief of po
lice Roger and Luther Goodman.
Goodman received quite a severe
wound on his head. Several stones
were thrown through windows.
After the crowd ceased to throw
stones mayor Crowell detailed eight
or ten men to "stop it," the Standard
says. ;
Wife, Mother and Son Killed.
Paris, Tex., Nov. 7. Unknown men
went to the home of Silas Washing
ton, near here, today and fired volley
after volley into it. Washington, his
wife and mother were killed.
It is alleged that twenty per cent, of
the demoorats in Ralehrh failed to
I vote. .
All the Talk Is Yet About the
Election.
Today little else 'Inn the result nl
the re. ent election was talked of here.
There were many groups on the streets.
Interest is un ibated. Today at noon
the camaicKiitg bo:i' Is met in all the
coun'iert.
Estimates made Inst uight of the
state senate j.a e the fusiouists ten
majority. 'Ihis it is claimed by them
will be found correct.
Chairmau l'ou, when asked what
caused the landslide, said: "Five cent
cotton was the i n in the until." He
added that the Initiative and state
tickets are b-t Ii very close and that
the ollieial vote would be required to
determine how they stand, lie further
KtafeJ that fusion was far in. -re com
plete tlian the (leni'.ci as evtr
imagined.
The fuaioiiists claim tin- elect i n of
their state ticket by majorities ",ng-
ing all the way from 8,000 to
Chairmau Rntler's estimate .
20,000 to 30,(KK).
Nr. Joseplius Daniels says i
that both the legislature and
00.
. m
ins
.vial
tickets are lost by the demo r.-i.. -.
The fusiouists say ti eie w?s hardly
any scratrliing of th. ir tickets. They
make n i c! arjies of f iaiid.
The estimate of tile fusiouists, as
published by. the News & Observer
this moi ni;i;r, is that so far as known
they have (!0 members of the 120 in
the house, the democrats 4(i, and that
seven or eight counties are to be heart!
from.
The def. at of the democrats in the
first, foil rt Si, fifth, seventh, eighth and
ninth congressional dis ii" s is practi
callv acki'.o !e,i-ed. This leaves the
democrats Woodard in the second,
Shav iu 1 1. e third and L-ickhart in the
sixth. T. -lay's .Charlotte. Observer
says: "The defeat of Hon. John S.
Henderson in the seventh district is
received with deep regret." Lock
h.'.ti claims 1200 to lf00 majority.
It appears to le conceded thai
the fusiouists have elected Mr. W. H.
Worth state ttvavurer by a large ma
jority. As to solicitors it will take the
official count to decide, it seems. The
democrats appear to think .the pros
pects tolerable for their electing six of
the twelve, but appear to be sure of
only Webb in the eleventh district.
In the next congress the republi
cans have a majority over all of one
hundred and t.veiity-two.
Halifax is now what is termed the
"banner democratic county," as it
gave 2,500 majority. Cleveland and
Catawba counties, Which used to be
the banner counties of the democracy,
this time went for fusion heavily.

The ministering circle of the King's
Da lighters,' of which Mrs. C. M. Bus
bee is the head, is giving the annual

A Tax on Bachelors.
Rather n nice question has arisen in
Ottawa, wh-re the mayor has had the
hardihood to propose the imposition
of a tax upon ba helors. The chief
'vie officer thinks that after 21 years
of age no male person should escape
ihespe.ial tax. If he o'jecls to it
all he has to do is to marry, but the
difficulty is that if a tax is to be im
posed on single blessedness, some
thing u ill h'i e to he done to adjust
the balance of the sexes iu Canada.
However mu h some of the males may
desire to se. ure a partner, 150,000 of
them must be coiittnt te remain single
or else go outside Canada to find a
wife.
